:sigh: Apparently you read everything but what was key for you to read. Okay, relax for a minute then read my post.......

A few days ago, one of our fantastic members posted a Tweet from Vick Ballard (Our lovable RB).

In that tweet, he stated that he will be comfortable this year because we're running a ZONE blocking scheme.

Hope this clears that up for you :D

To be clear, he said that we were running a man-blocking scheme with a little zone peppered in. Not a pure ZBS. Mostly a MBS.

Just to clear it up. He had a pulled pec when he benched the 225 for 17. Also, I think it's more about the between the ears for a center verse brute strength and size. That's why Saturday was so awesome for us. He was to small, to all that negative stuff but we saw how that turned out. Also, with two good guards beside him the center wouldn't look so bad, including satele.

People need to stop knocking this pick. Holmes played injured all year long. Hes tough, hes a fighter, very intelligent, very driven, very athletic. Hes only going to get bigger and stronger....and he will. Hes big enough at 305. He will be 315 or 320 within a year.

Relax, we have some good O-linemen now!

He is very smart.  None of the schemes are going to be too complex for him.  He will call out all the blocking assignments.  He will add about 10 lbs. to his frame.  He will get healthy, and he will be the starting center for this team by mid-season.  He just has to get healthy.  He played on a high ankle sprain last year, which is crazy to do, but he did it, knowing he wouldn't look so good sometimes.

I had a high ankle sprain that took over a year to heal. It hurt like heck to walk on it, let alone apply leverage.

So he was hurt at the combine?  Did not know that.  I was wondering where all this talk about his lack of strength came from.  Ah.....I don't know about Satele though.  I think you'd need to put him between Larry Allen and Steve Hutchinson in their primes to make a difference!  ;)

I see Holmes in one of the guard spots.

 

I watched him in the 2011 game against Utah and Star Lotulelei. What a battle between the offensive and defensive lines, it looked like a medieval war. I was impressed with the determination of the USC offensive line to run the ball even if they only managed small gains, with Holmes leading the way.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      I almost spit my coffee out reading this a few times, lol!  I love sarcasm and I especially love it when there is some truth to it!  Well played Sir!

      *Update: AD Mitchell signed

      By stitches · Posted

      I guess the whole question is the merits of the report. You report on his diabetes with tons of guesses and speculations and WITHOUT taking the side of the person who's been affected here and who's living and dealing with that condition. You report on the player being uncoachable WITHOUT taking the opinion of his coaches about being coachable or not(and BTW from what I've heard both from Colts and Texas coaches, this is resoundingly NOT TRUE). You report about him being immature and honestly, everything I've seen on the surface suggests the opposite. You report about his combine performance by giving it a pretty harsh reading(the video is in this thread and the account of what happened by McGinn is in this thread... People can actually go and look at what happened and make their own mind about whether the characterization of that workout was fair or not. I will just say you can represent the player stumbling in a drill and going again in various different ways and McGinn chose a specific way to represent it. It was the most negative way you could choose).    You know I had my own reservations about that outburst by Ballard at the presser, but the more I'm learning about Mitchell the more I actually believe in what Ballard was saying and the less merit those reports have in my mind. Maybe I have my own unconscious biases too, now that I have vested interest in Mitchell actually being good for us. I don't know     I guess ultimately none of it matters. AD's success or failure won't depend on some pre-draft reports... it will depend on how he handles himself from now on, how hard he works, his drive to be great and our staff's ability to get the best of him.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By ColtStrong2013 · Posted

      if he is healthy and they make the playoffs in spite of, say, Houston being the 1 or 2 seed in a loaded afc, you think Irsay would contemplate firing him? That would mean we took another step forward and AR proved he could stay healthy and play ball. I don’t see his seat being hot in that scenario at all. I see the organization being fired up with that and ready to hit the offseason hard to take the next step forward.

      Hmmm.   ”Healthy excuses will be hard to come by.”    Really?   Richardson, who had less than a thousand snaps in college, then had roughly 200 snaps his rookie year.  There’s one.   And Houston has Stroud who had a great rookie year.  Aren’t most media predicting Houston and JVille ahead of Indy this year?  That’s two without any trouble.     I just think insisting on a division title because a fan thinks it’s time doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny.   Sorry, just my two cents…. And often not worth that much.

      For me absolutely it does. If Richardson stays healthy excuses will be hard to come up with. As positive as I am with Ballard at some point we have to start winning. He bet on himself by bringing in his own home grown talent this year, what he does at safety in the coming month and a half has me worried as well. We were so close to winning the division last year with a back up QB that my expectation is winning the AFC south this year.    If they make it into the wild card game and lose then the seat is just as hot for me. If they advance further and make a Cinderella run then I’m fully back on board.
